Brenden Aaronson Champions League stat offers exciting glimpse at what Leeds United can expect

Brenden Aaronson Leeds United Jesse Marsch

No player in the Champions League last season covered long distances at a higher speed than new Leeds United star Brenden Aaronson, according to a study.

A study from SportingPedia highlights the average speed of players that covered the longest distances in the UEFA Champions League last season. The research looks into the 16 teams that reached the direct eliminations phase of the Champions League last term, with the aim of finding out the average speed at which modern footballers move around the field.

According to the study, Aaronson - who was part of the Red Bull Salzburg side who were defeated 8-2 on aggregate in the round of 16 by Bundesliga champions Bayern Munich - covered 103.5km at a speed of 8.69km/h in the Champions League last season. Inter Milan's Marcelo Brozovic ranked second, covering 89.3km at 8.44km/h.
